Yeah, I'm the bad guy.
Youre just a very horrible person.

In what way(s)? Maybe you could give us a few examples. Just because a person
doesn’t fit a certain mold doesn’t necessarily make them horrible.

He is able to post whenever he wants to and people he targets often have posting privileges suspended or worse on FR.
So are you, when you aren't suspended for being a blogpimp.
and people he targets often have posting privileges suspended or worse on FR.
Oh, I doubt that.
Maybe some of those same people are just bad actors and get their own butts banned.
Ever think of that?
I got zotted to.
